Hi everybody! We’ve put together some really cute (simple!) designs for your Thanksgiving gatherings. Kids will love helping out with these, and everyone will love eating them ;0)
I bought these thin, ginger cookies at the grocery store this morning…I stared down everything on the cookie and candy rows today, looking for turkey parts! I bought the cookies on a whim (partly because I love ginger cookies) and it wasn’t until later that we realized they would make perfect turkey tail feathers!
Once you’ve made your tailfeathers, you can go with one of these cute Turkey designs!
Now, onto Turkey number two!
And finally….. another “woo hoo” moment came today when we realized that bugles would make perfect cornucopias! Back to the grocery store we went…and I also rediscovered how much I love to eat these :0)
Group shot! — :0)
These are fantastic and I love the way that you give instructions! I have featured these on Party Cupcake Ideas here http://partycupcakeideas.com/thanksgiving-cupcakes/
Love these!!
I can’t wait to try these!!
These are fanstatic ! Can you give me the brand of those ginger cookies? I always have a hard time finding ginger cookies.
Hi Nora–I was just in the grocery store yesterday and saw them—they are Annas brand.
Thanks Melissa.. Now if I can just find that brand here.. =)
Hi Nora–if you can’t, I’m sure that there must be another thin cookie that would work! You’ll have to do some cookie investigating at your grocery store :0) It would be very cute also with a round cookie (rather than scalloped). Good luck!
So cool.I love These. Wish I would Make them for my niece and nephews.
Hello,
Can you please tell me how you made the veggies for the Thanksgiving cupcakes. I am new to baking.
@Sharon- I just piped little dots at a vertical angle with a 3 or 4 piping tip for the round fruits/veggies, and topped them off with a little green leaf (again piped with a small round tip) teardrop shape– just pipe a small dot and pull up or to the side when you release the pressure.
For the squash shapes, they are just teardrop shapes piped with a 3 or 4 piping tip. I hold the bag at a 45 degree angle (as if you were piping a bead border for instance). Pipe, and then release the pressure as you pull to the side. Then you can just add another little dot to the small end. Hope that makes sense! Maybe I can do a video tutorial version of these sometime.
Thank you! You truly are amazing I asked this question late last night and you already answered me wow.
I think others who are inexperienced would love to see a video on this.
As an experienced baker like yourself it is easy to you however to me it’s going to still me hard. I will post my outcome lol crossing fingers they come out good.
Thanks again Sharon
